Florence with Jen March 09

My good friend Jen and I went away for a girly weekend. Jen hasn't been to Italy before, so we thought Florence would be a great place. I missed out on seeing the Uffizi gallery when I took my parents as I wanted to see the Renassaince paintings.This was my third time there, so I was the navigator. First off was Michaelangelo Piazza to enjoy the view, and we found San Miniato church which I thought the grounds provided better views. Sunset on Santa Croce was very pretty too.

Saturday morning, we climbed both the bell tower and the dome of the Duomo. Then a stroll in the markets off San Lorenzo... we read good reviews on a restaurant... and sure enough an hour and a half wait... the food didn't disappoint! It was absolutely delicious.... the best roast veal I've ever tasted. We researched on all best gelato places, and tracked them all down!
Sunday was spent exploring the Uffizi, and our long weekend was over. Great way to spend a weekend with a great friend..
